The Port of Marathon is an important deep-water port on Lake Superior’s northern shores between Sault Ste. Marie and Thunder Bay. Developing this commercial harbour on the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway System opens up Marathon, Biigtigong Nishnaabeg (formerly Pic River First Nation), and the North Shore region to the world. The port will create new employment and economic development opportunities by servicing regional mining, forestry, logistics, and manufacturing industries while respecting the environment and Lake Superior.

The commercial harbour is another sign of prosperity in the North of Superior region, where mining and other activities are starting to boom. With its location on a stretch of brownfield waterfront, Marathon is a blank slate for companies looking for port access next to industrial-zoned property, ready for development.
